Post the Second: The Jarring Job

[mysilenceknot]

It has recently been brought to my attention that I have been neglecting my duties at the library. This has more to do with the fact that I was not aware I had a job at all than a desire to get myself fired.

The library in this town can only be described as dismal. A word here which means, seemingly lacking in any material that would be useful to

I want to research terrapins.

[mysilenceknot]

Well, I'll try but I do not believe this library will contain any information on turtles.

[touchmysquirrel]

Well, that's shit. What about tortoises? Snails? Anything with shells.

[mysilenceknot]

Perhaps an encyclopedia. If one is able to be located. The types of books seems to vary based on what person is looking for it.

I don't suppose you have a job that has anything to do with the animals you are looking for?

[grey_of_heart]

I've read quite a bit of material in the library, and unfortunately I haven't found anything useful either. Quite a bit of romance novels, though. Good lord, what a waste of trees.

[mysilenceknot]

Yes, they are rather usless. The few I've managed to find about libraries are interesting but do nothing to aid my search for other books.

[grey_of_heart]

The histories are particularly bland. Very whitewashed and 'pleasant'. 'This is such a lovely place, Mayfield.' That sort of thing.

I wandered rather far into the stacks one afternoon and found two or three completely blank books.

[mysilenceknot]

Well at the very least they are "pleasant". Though I'm sure then they do not relay the truth. The truth is rarely pleasant.

Completly blank you say? I suppose that would make sense.

[dreams_are_mine]

Nothing? But what's the point?

[mysilenceknot]

There are still plenty of books, however from what I have been able to peice together, the subject mater of the books is severly limited.

[dreams_are_mine]

So it's controlled information? Well that should have been expected.

[mysilenceknot]

Yes, I suppose. The way they're controlling the informationn seems rather interesting as well.

[silvestris_mage]

Even the library is cracknobbed?

[mysilenceknot]

Cracknobbed? I must confess, I have never heard that expression before.

[silvestris_mage]

Oh, it means...confused. Delusional. We used it at home in Tortall, mainly in Lower City Corus....which you've probably never heard of.

[mysilenceknot]

Ah, no. I can not say I have. A very interesting word though. I shall have to record it in my commonplace book.

[eldest_hatter]

I was planning to take a look at the library tomorrow, but I was afraid that might be the case.

[mysilenceknot]

Yes it seems that have found another way to control what we can or can not do in this town.

It is most unfortunate. I was hoping that if I was forced to work in the library, in the very least I would be able to find some good books.

[eldest_hatter]

You were forced into a job as well?

It seems that I am now a florist in this town.

[mysilenceknot]

Yes, I was recently informed that I had not been showing up for work at the libary. Despite the fact that I wasn't aware I even had a job.

A florist, have you done work like that before?
